This is the hardest thing I have ever done. My legs are so tired, all I want to do is untie myself from the rope that is holding me to the fast-paced guide, and throw myself off the mountain. But still I keep going, one cramponed boot in front of the other,. In what oxygen I can, which isn't much at 5000 metres. O. Posted by Ross McL.
